Forget fueling your ride with ascetic energy bars and hydration potions: This Sunday, join the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition for an ice cream-powered (or sorbet, if you prefer) tour of some of the city's most intriguing ice creameries. You'll wander from the Mission to North Beach at 25 calories a mile, sampling the new-school combinations of Humphry Slocombe, Philippine-grown tropical tastes at Mitchell's, the organic fare of Three Twins and Italian standbys at Gelato Classico.
